A much more peaceful time than usual.

Well, everything that’s going to air has aired except for Fairy Tail (early Mondays), Thriller Restaurant (Tuesday), Kiddy Girl and Trapeze (Thursday), and Winter Sonata (Friday). Since Thriller’s a kid’s show, Trapeze is one of Toei’s crazy psychadelic shows, and Winter Sonata is being billed as the angstiest drama ever, there’s just the other two that fall in my usual interest sphere, but I’m still going to check them all out to give them a chance to surprise me.

So anyway, standard boilerplate here. There’s a limited amount of time in the day, and since I’m one of the few, the proud, the semi-competent with Japanese, my schedule for watching stuff syncs up more or less with the actual broadcast schedule. Therefore, there’s only so much that I can deal with in a day, so here’s the quick list of all the shows over the past week (plus the ongoing ones I’m already following) along with a short blurb representing whatever the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the first episode with the side goal of hopefully infuriating as many people as possible. It’s almost sporting for me at this point. Comprehensive… it is not, but if you want more information, each one is linked to my post on it.

Since this season has a particularly large number of sequels, just be aware that I skipped those that I didn’t make it to the end of the first season of, so didn’t bother checking out the second.

Anything that I am 100% certain I’m going to cover for at least one more week gets a little crown, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stick with it past the next episode or two. Likewise, just because I’m not psyched about something doesn’t mean that I won’t pick it up after checking out a second episode. If you’ve got any input, flames, or desperate begging, go wild.

And that’s a wrap. It’s kind of a strange season in that there are so few shows airing on Saturdays and Sundays, which are traditionally pretty busy days. There are lots of OVAs this season too, so expect those to probably throw my schedule out of whack sometimes a little bit. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with how balanced everything is throughout the rest of the week.

-Go for 11eyes! The plot makes everything better!
-And… wait a moment… did I just read “Kiddy Girl-and”?…. Aro, you sick bastard…
-Let’s see; Blacksmith has a really crappy protagonist, who’s also whiny… but Railgun is all yuri-exposition… I say, just drop both and work on GA or character dictionaries…
-Inuyasha…. seriously? Is that even in consideration?
-And finally, Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven) doesn’t seem like much, but once the sci-fi, demeaning-gods part kicks in, it gets pretty good… Queen of the Skies… Teehee…
